As a tax lawyer, I cringe every time a non-professional attempts to talk tax. It’s bad even when major outlets like the New York Times or Wall Street Journal do it. It’s even worse when a car blog does it.

Need more stars. The tax code in the US is designed for one thing. Protecting the big fish.

It’s a bad sign when the writer can’t make it through the headline without giving away the fact they don’t understand the subject they’re writing about.

1. “Federal taxes” =/= solely income tax. Where’s your payroll tax analysis?

Let’s be real: this is the fault of our elected officials. Dems had all three branches under Obama and did fuck all about stuff like this. Biden will do fuck all about this. Until we have campaign finance reform no politician will do anything about this. Yet....every election we vote for these people because they’re

Right. The Rolling Stone literally published a story on why it’s okay to damage property and obstruct transportation as a form of political protest. Both sides do the same things and blame the others. Forums like this where Internet tough guys rattle their pretend sabers don’t help.

The city where the shipyard is located decided they like tax revenue and local employment more than they like not temporarily dismantling part of a bridge. That’s the entire story. But, rich people are evil, so everything they touch is tainted.

I mean you can make fun of the guy for having a “toy” like this but you know what? This project has employed hundreds of people in the hard hit marine sector and will continue to employee lots of people for the substantial on-going maintenance that will be required. Captains, engineers, all the other crew, the ports

the best take here so far, and I want to subscribe to your newsletter

Really amazed at the “both-sides-ism” here.

Oh this must be bad. Oh wait it is a chime for not having your seatbelt on that in small scenarios does not come on. And it is an over the air sw update... way to make things sound like the sky is falling

“Tesla should probably just tell its customers that its cars are in perpetual beta.”

Wow why namecall people you dont know on this? This is a Czech Millionaire, driving on German roads. I dont get why you need to belittle an entire nation when they have nothing to do with this story.

If you got Chiron money, you got speeding ticket money.

Good fucking luck proving beyond a reasonable doubt, that he was not in control of the vehicle at all times.
